Hi Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about negation in Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association). Negation is an important part of any language, and it is essential to understand how to use it correctly in order to communicate effectively.
Negation is the process of making a statement or phrase negative. In Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association), there are two main ways to make a statement or phrase negative: using the negative particle non and using the negative verb non haber.
Using the Negative Particle Non
The negative particle non is used to make a statement or phrase negative. It is placed before the verb in a sentence. For example:
| Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Io parla interlingua. | /iːo paɹla inteɹliŋɡwa/ | I speak Interlingua. |
| Io non parla interlingua. | /iːo non paɹla inteɹliŋɡwa/ | I do not speak Interlingua. |
In the above example, the negative particle non is placed before the verb parla to make the statement negative.
Using the Negative Verb Non Haber
The negative verb non haber is used to make a statement or phrase negative. It is placed after the subject in a sentence. For example:
| Interlingua (International Auxiliary Language Association) | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Io ha un libro. | /iːo ha un liːbɹo/ | I have a book. |
| Io non ha un libro. | /iːo non ha un liːbɹo/ | I do not have a book. |
In the above example, the negative verb non haber is placed after the subject Io to make the statement negative.
